Who We Are

Dan Bowen

Hi! I’m Dan Bowen, a developer and founding member of Crucial Web Studio. I specialize in PHP programming and conceiving, architecting and developing Zend Framework web applications.

Once upon a time I was building static websites on shared hosting (gasp!). Then, about 8 years ago I discovered PHP and was lucky enough to land jobs in some of Chicago’s top consulting and media companies, including Palantir.net, Duo Consulting and Playboy (yup!). I’m currently employed full-time by Punchkick Interactive.

I’ve always done side projects to keep me sharp and Crucial Web Studio is an extension of that. In my agency roles I’ve been billed out as high as $160/hr. and we can definitely beat that for you. We know there is a middle market for high quality web development and that’s where we hope to fit in. Get in touch to see how we can help.
